Concussion: Please bring her back to the ed asap. She has a concussion and needs a ct scan of the brain. Depending on her vital signs and result of the ct scan, she might need more critical observation.

Followup with doc: The primary "treatment" for a simple concussion is avoiding stress.This includes any vigorous workout or mental activity like studying for exams. The symptoms you list can persist for days to a week or more but they should be monitored. Hopefully your friend has a primary doc who can review what was done and see if more should be.The ER is no place to get comprehensive healthcare.
